The inclusion of remote monitoring as an element of care provision packages for older adults (telecare) has the potential to significantly augment traditional social care. In this paper we discuss the use of ambient, and integrated ambient and body sensing, for telecare applications. Work is described on creating ambient solutions which are sufficiently flexible to be effective for a broad range of individuals. Further to this, recent and future developments within the telecare domain are discussed. In the future, monitoring systems are likely to exploit an integrated ambient and body sensor approach in order to address a wider range of needs. In this paper we provide example scenarios which highlight the potential of an integrated ambient and body sensor approach.
